Yves Saint LaurentBlack Opium Le Parfum 50ml/1.6oz

Yves Saint LaurentBlack Opium Le Parfum 50ml/1.6oz sits in Fragrance: a women's fragrance. At extrait strength it carries the heaviest oil load of the family, so it sits close to the skin and outlasts the lighter versions — a dab does the work of several sprays. Spray onto pulse points — wrists, the base of the throat, behind the ears — from about 15 cm away, and let it dry instead of rubbing it in. Whether it is discounted this week says more about the shop's stock than about the product. Keep the bottle out of sunlight and away from bathroom humidity — a cool, dark drawer preserves it for years, a windowsill turns it in months. The best deal and the cheapest sticker price are not always the same listing once delivery is counted.
